Najee and Pittman are better in win now and rebuild for me
Thanks. I'm the other side, but at least the honesty is appreciated. My roster is heaving with empty spots. I took over an orphan, did a distribution draft, and wound up terrible. Harris and Pittman were my only assets and I had to break them down to field a reasonable team.
This really all hinges on Akers. If he's what we saw back before he ruptured his Achilles' heel, then I really like the trade for me. I discount the playoff games last year as being against really tough defenses. I've never been sold on Najee, but that said, he is a true volume guy in Pittsburgh, and those are tough to come by. I'm hoping the Akers/Najee thing is actually a wash because Akers is being counted down and out, and though I see why, I disagree with his discount, though McVay has made some noises about Henderson in the offseason.
All that said, I guess I'm fully aware of the risks of the trade -- I just don't see any other way to compete. I need dart throws to work out. Matt Harmon of Reception Perception loves AIyuk and Bateman, and they had great camps. Toney is electric and the wild card in the deal for me. I wouldn't have pulled the trigger without him. I believe in you, Kadarius! Go get 'em!
